 The Urgent Call To Share The Gospel; Underground Bible Schools in Caves



Instead of fancy Bible schools and seminary buildings these precious Chinese believers at times meet in caves: “On a recent visit to China, they were introduced to our underground seminary school and witnessed firsthand the high cost of following the Lord in China. They visited the secret seminary school one evening. Dressed in dark clothing, they ran silently across a field and crawled through the small cave opening undetected. While there they learned the real sacrifice these students make on a daily basis. For six months of the year, these students live in the cave, leaving infrequently and only under the protective cover of darkness.

Their day starts at 6 A.M., with prayer and devotion. Around 8 A.M. the students receive their first meal of the day, which is a bun with mincemeat. They usually don’t eat again until dinner, which features the same meal as breakfast. Their intense education takes place between these two small meals. After a rigorous day of learning, they fall asleep on a bed of hay on the cave floor.”

The urgency to share Jesus Christ with the world is deeply engrained in these believers’ hearts as well as believing and proclaiming the soon literal coming of the Lord.

We can learn much from this example to keep the message simple and to not be as much focused on our church programs, ministries and resources.

When Jesus Christ becomes the centre and Head of the Church again the message is simple, the way made plain and the power is given by the Holy Spirit to accomplish the task of spreading the Gospel.
